ABOUT ME
I am a multimedia fluid artist based in Staffordshire, United Kingdom. While I have been exploring flowing abstract techniques since 2016, my creative background spans over 25 years as a graphic designer and photographer.
I work full-time as a tattoo artist and own a studio (Babylon Tattoo) at the former Spode pottery site in Stoke-on-Trent. Unfortunately this leaves me with less time to paint but continues to influence and enrich my artistic practice.
My work centres on single-pour acrylic pieces created on canvas or wood. Using carefully balanced combinations of paints and pouring mediums, I approach each piece with a scientific mindset - embracing the chemistry behind the process while allowing the results to remain entirely organic and unpredictable. No two artworks are ever alike, and each piece is truly impossible to replicate.
As a self-taught artist, I have developed my techniques through years of experimentation; supported by a vibrant community of fellow artists, particularly within online groups where I have also contributed as an administrator.
I was first drawn to acrylic pouring after discovering the work of artists such as Emma Lindstrom and Arthur Brouthers. After a five-year break from painting, I found myself unexpectedly captivated by abstract art - something I had previously overlooked during my formal education at college and university. Since then, I have fully embraced its expressive and immersive nature.
My current work moves away from traditional cellular effects, focusing instead on creating organic textures that evoke celestial bodies, constellations, and the night sky. Increasingly, I am combining abstract fluid techniques with elements of realism; hand-painting tree silhouettes and landscapes to create a dialogue between chaos and control.
Looking ahead, I aim to further explore texture and scale, developing larger, more immersive abstract works that continue to blur the boundaries between science, spontaneity, and storytelling.
